They played an OT game yesterday, how much you wanna bet we are the team that comes out looking like we played an OT game? My issues with the Suns this season all stem from lackadaisical effort. It's frustrating AF

We look like smouldering trash. This team is so bad.

This team is so done. How Ishbia can sit back and feel like he's accomplished something good with this is, well, unfathomable.

Can’t wait for Sabers postgame analysis regarding the Suns. He’s always upbeat and positive.

Budenholzer is a bad coach too. Bring Lue next.

Good call. :lol:

Who expected this **** after 8:1 start ? The expected injuries killed any positive vibe and now it seems nobody on this team cares anymore. Why should we ? At this point I'm betting on a loss. Easy money.

I'll be nearer to 60 than I'd like. I have a feeling this team isn't going to win one in my lifetime. We had a chance a few years ago and straight blew it.

We keep bringing all this championship coaches here, but they can’t turn this roster into a winning team. We might as well bring in Dantoni and let him fix our team.

Just play Dunn and Oso 48 minutes a game at this point. Might as well develop them and they actually play with effort unlike everyone else.

I don't understand how we are this bad on the offensive end. We mostly shoot a high percentage in games but end up losing or getting blown out. I get the defense was always going to be below average with this team, but the offense looks disjointed and bad. Like... Pass the ball around the perimeter and not set up a play until the shot clock is almost at 0. We looked pretty good to start the season. Now it's like the players already accepted defeat before games even start. It's pathetic to watch. I try to keep positive, despite everything, but man this is a hard team to stay interested in the past few years.

Ishbia has said too much bravado to trade for picks, Jones would be fired in a rebuild, Budenholzer doesnt want to coach a rebuild, Durant and Booker and Beal would be traded.

We have no one with incentive to see past the now.

Gave up 45 pts in the 3rd SMH. This team started the season so well and then a couple injuries this team turns to street trash

Return to Phoenix Suns
